What would you do when your company provides unlimited vacation but your manager doesn’t allow you to take day offs and says only after he says “ok”, then you can take any vacations. Even though the vacation you took was already less than 10 days a year.
Sounds like a shitty manager. Is s/he giving valid reasons why your requests are being rejected? We get unlimited vaca at vmw and I’ve never been denied. I probably take 5 weeks off a year or so.
No, there were no specific reasons.
Report your manager.
I specifically asked my hiring manager if he had ever rejected a request for PTO. If unlimited PTO is a benefit they better believe I'm gonna use it (and I have)
And if he said no, I would run for the hills. Most likely he does not have backbone to say no and you will have to pick up slack when he allows 9 out of 10 members to be on PTO
How is your relationship with your manager outside of PTO? Are you having performance issues that your manager has given you feedback on? Are you the only person on your team with these guardrails in place, or is it this manager’s “style” to deny vacation?
Performance was above average. Probability not all, but there were more than two persons who had the same experience
Good manager?
How many days do people take off if you have unlimited vacation policy?
When it comes to vacations, unlimited does not mean unlimited. Predefined 4 weeks vacation is better than unlimited vacation. Unlimited is more like undetermined. You can't measure how much vacation you have left.
It’s your manager. I’ve been at 2 unlimited vacation companies now. You better be damn sure I’m using it. I average 5-6 weeks a year.
Look for companies with unlimited breadsticks
Basically your saying imagine a scenario where a company offers unlimited breadsticks but they only make say 20 of them a day?
Welcome to the tech industry.
Well, I don’t think this scenario represents tech industry. It’s more like going back to industrial era.
